Re: Disc Drive Help
Hello and Welcome to TSF
Does the BIOS see it? What is in the Device Manager, any reference to it? What controller is it installed on, Primary or Secondary?

Re: Disc Drive Help
Ok, lets back up a minute. What are you calling your "2nd disc drive"?
Is this a cd-rom or another hard drive?

Re: Disc Drive Help
When the computer boots does the light on the drive blink?
Did this drive work before or is it a new drive?

Re: Disc Drive Help
Sounds like the drive is bad. Replace it.

Re: Disc Drive Help
Well if the power light is not flashing at boot that means it is not getting power. If you wanted to diagnose this, this would require changing the power supply unit. And it may not solve your issue.
